Hi,
The RIPE NCC has no mandate from the community to perform regular checks
on the contact data provided by a member. This has been much discussed
in recent times. Right now there is no proposal formally asking the NCC
to do this, nor is the Abuse Contact Management Task Force looking at
this, however I suspect it will not be long before the matter is raised
here or in another RIPE WG formally again.
As to whether the RIPE community is organised, there is substantial
information on this matter on this matter here:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe
The community acts through the working group mailing lists and twice a
year it comes together at a full RIPE meeting. There are also regional
meetings, but ultimately policy is discussed and decided on the mailing
list. If you have any specific questions you can contact the Co-Chairs
of this working group at aa-wg-chairs at ripe.net
Brian,
Co-Chair, Anti-Abuse WG
